Book Description
Conor Brady, widely recognized as the most authoritative historian of Irish policing, explores some of the biggest challenges the Garda¡ have faced since 1960. Acknowledged as one of the successes of the independent Irish State, the Garda S¡och na has not, however, been without its flaws and its failings. Brady looks at how the security of the Irish State was maintained during the Northern crisis, chronicles the emergence of guns in Irish criminal life and comprehensively covers the recent spate of crisis that have rocked the force to its very core.
